The U.S. release of I Love You Phillip Morris has been postponed four
times since February, most recently in June when a California judge
issued a preliminary injunction preventing the July 30 release of the
film in the United States. EuropaCorp, the French movie studio that
owns the film, claims its U.S. distributor Consolidated Pictures Group
has not paid the agreed upon $3 million advance for the film.

The film is based on the true story of Steven Russell (played by Carrey,
Liar Liar) and his improbable transformation from small-town
businessman, father and former cop to gay white-collar criminal
and ingenious jailbreaker. While in prison, Russell falls in love with
his cellmate Phillip Morris (played by McGregor, Star Wars).

A brief 1-minute clip of the movie released on the Internet in June
shows the pair in a romantic jailhouse embrace. McGregor says
“Enough romance, let's fuck” as he heads down on Carrey. The clip
was available to view on various websites, but EuropaCorp managed
to quickly take it down
